#88 best player on the Sox by far (seems like a theme with that number in Chicago).

Yep. Great first start for Cueto! Only blemish was Graveman, but Robert picked him up in the 10th.

Yeah. I think TA is the best hitter on the team. But his horrid defense this year hands Robert the 'best player' title.

Got a bad feeling about today. SOX always struggle against guys they've never seen, Cease will need to be extra sharp. And then who knows what they'll get out of Martin in game 2.

Not a fan of that idea. Let's tax players with more playing time when load management is already necessitated.
And in other NBA news, Orlando and OKC are the big winners of the draft lottery. Sacramento too, I guess, and can't help but laugh at Houston dropping.

I just don't get what they'll be playing it for. Some new mid season trophy?

Now's a good time for La Russa to do us a solid and resign his position. I never thought I would advocate this, but Ozzie would be a good replacement. This team needs life and he might be the guy to bring that.

He's a f***ing corpse. Everyone saw this coming when he was hired. He has no business managing a young team coming out of a rebuild, who needs energy and passion. On top of that, his managing decisions are f***ing atrocious. He needs to f*** off.

Apparently Timmy wasn't happy with Ozzie's postgame comments last night and told Guillen through the media to STFU. I didn't see the postgame show, but I believe Ozzie was criticizing La Russa's lineup in game 2, saying the Sox didn't put forth a competitive enough of a lineup. And that a young guy like TA shouldn't need a rest at the expense of supporting their young first time starter?
If I have that right. That's a little odd, as Ozzie used to drive me nuts with his non competitive Sunday starting lineups back in his days.

Ozzie is def v
Ozzie is viewed through rose colored glasses now. He was a clown as a manager and got canned by the marlins like a year after the sox dumped him and never sniffed another job for a reason. Hes a distraction and a fool.

Sox offense was top 10 and often top 5 in all MLB in most categories each of the past 2 seasons.
So here in 2022 that same roster is somehow emphatically worse than they were?
TA=A younger version
Moncada=A younger version
Robert>A younger version
Abreu<A younger version
Grandal=A younger version
Eloy>A younger version
Vaughn/Sheets>Encarnacion
Pollock>Mazara
Garcia/Harrison<Madrigal
This is what you’d expect. TA and Moncada both at the same level they were in 2020 is reasonable, and you’d figure the same with Grandal. You can factor in Abreu getting worse, but only slightly so was my expectation. Then you thought if Eloy and Robert are that productive in 2020 well surely they’d be AT LEAST just the same 2 years later. And you’re now giving me Andrew Vaughn and Gavin Sheets? And Pollock? And no more EE or Mazara(or Eaton either)?
Ok sure it sucks getting worse at 2B but everything else pretty much appears that it SHOULD be better or at least equal. You’d think the offense would only improve by now with so much young talent. But again….it’s just not happening that way. The players aren’t performing and/or they’re getting injured.

Meanwhile, I can take the ebbs and flows of a bad Cubs team without a care in the world. This past winning streak has been especially fun.
And yet everyone in Europe cares about domestic cups. NBA banking that they can make people care about a mid year nba tournament

They've got tradition and a different sports culture. I don't see it really taking off here but hey go nuts NBA.
